After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 557 Voice of the Heart
Wu Qiong showed a bitter smile on his face and lowered his head: "Sister Xuejun told us that her father's birthday gift actually arrived three days before the birthday banquet. If the Duke's wife did not know the content of the letter, she would have given it to My mother, after reading the letter, it is impossible for my mother to attend the birthday banquet as if nothing happened, she has been mad for a long time..."

Haitang raised her eyebrows, understanding. This is exactly the flaw in Mrs. Zhenguo's statement. However, she didn't know what gossip Zhou Xuejun had said with her friends, so it was normal for her not to be wary. And Wu Qiong heard Zhou Xuejun's private murmurs as early as the day of the birthday banquet, how could he not be suspicious?
But now that she has become suspicious, what does she think of Mrs. Zhen Guo's actions? Will she become resentful of the Zhou family like her mother?

Haitang stared at the expression on Wu Qiong's face, but her eyes were fixed on the ground, seemingly unaware, and continued to say in a low mood: "My fourth cousin feels that Uncle Gui's words and deeds are suspicious. He is a gentleman and will not open letters privately. After peeking at it, he reminded the Duke's wife in a letter at home to be more careful, but the Duke's wife didn't worry so much. She was often angry with my mother, so she was always on guard against my mother looking for opportunities to cause trouble, so she just took precautions. 1, she opened the letter and checked it in advance. When she saw that my uncle said so many irrelevant things in the letter, she would naturally get angry. She withheld the letter and refused to give it to my mother. Not only was she trying to destroy her uncles' plan, but she was also protecting my mother. , not letting her feel sad because of her uncles’ actions...

"My mother only cared about her brothers, but they never thought about her life or death. My mother's hard work was all in vain! The Duke's wife felt that my mother was pitiful and even let her out to attend the birthday banquet. Originally, my mother was We were going to continue to be banned in the courtyard, but the birthday banquet message was not sent to my mother at all. It was the elder sister who was next to the Duke’s wife who sent the message over at the main table the day before the birthday banquet because it was arranged late. There is no room for my mother anymore, so she has to sit with relatives she is not familiar with..."

I don’t know how Wu Qiong figured it out, but now that I heard her explain it in detail, the logic of the whole thing is quite smooth and it sounds reasonable. Even Haitang didn't dare to guarantee that Mrs. Zhenguo had never read the letter written by Gui's brother to Mrs. Gui. She arranged for Mrs. Gui to attend her birthday banquet, and it must not have been out of sympathy.

Haitang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then... was it because Mrs. Zhen Guo was annoyed because her daughter-in-law wanted to go to the third room of the Zhou family to cause trouble, so she gave the letter to her?"

Wu Qiong smiled bitterly again: "Other than that, what other reason could there be? No one sitting with my mother at the birthday banquet recognized her. I just returned to Chang'an from other places and heard about the old lady from the third room of the Zhou family. I was so surprised that I couldn't help but start chatting with my acquaintances. I didn't expect that it would be a taboo. After my mother found out about the third room, it happened that the seventh prince was about to be crowned king. He said that now that the Seventh Prince was in trouble, the Zhou family would never dare to offend her. If she made a fuss, she would be able to move out of the Duke's Mansion smoothly, and then write a letter to inform her uncles who returned home to secretly come to Chang'an and hide the pick-up from the Duke's Mansion. Let’s go back to the capital and join His Majesty the Seventh Prince…”

Wu Qiong's eyes turned red when she said this: "When I heard my mother say that, I thought she was crazy. Even if His Highness the Seventh Highness wants to be crowned king, she can't be ungrateful to the Zhou family, right? She can do such a thing, Your Highness The Seventh Highness She couldn't do it! But she was deceived by lard and insisted on returning to Beijing to help her uncles seek help from the dragon. How could the Duke and Madam spare her and not take revenge? It's kind enough to read a letter. The letter was also written by my uncles. No matter how outrageous the words were, it had nothing to do with the Zhou family. The Duke's wife cut the letter out of good intentions. Now, since my mother. If she is not worthy of her kindness, then there is nothing to blame if she takes out the letter and makes my mother a sensible person..."

As he spoke, Wu Qiong's tears fell.

Her mother was preoccupied with the return of her uncles back to their posts, and she did not hesitate to offend the Zhou family to death, but her uncles treated her mother like this... Although she had never seen it in person, she had heard Ma Shangyi say that Gui Madam vomited blood after reading the letter, and when she woke up, she was even more anxious to burn the letter. From then on, she denied that there was such a letter, and refused to let anyone in the house know what her brothers had done in the capital. What!
Although Mrs. Gui could not hide anything by doing this, it was enough to show her love for her brother.

It's a pity that her brothers don't appreciate her at all and don't take her to heart at all. They don't care about her life or death when they have nothing to do. They ask her to help them when they have trouble, but they still plan to ask her to help them harm others. How could such an uncle deserve Mrs. Gui's caring heart? !

Wu Qiong felt sour in his heart. If only her mother could care half as much for her and her cousin as she does for her brothers, their lives would be much better than they are now. Why did the mother accept death? !

Wu Qiong silently wiped her tears and said to Haitang with choked sobs: "I don't blame the Duke's wife. It was my mother who went too far, so she wanted to teach my mother a lesson. If my mother didn't give up her extravagant hopes for my uncles early, I would I didn't know how many secrets my mother would hide from everyone and secretly write letters to my uncle. The Zhou family had already taken a huge risk by willing to protect our family. My mother was ungrateful and even wanted to communicate with foreign enemies. I am her biological daughter, and I don’t have the shame to say that what she did was right. Besides, the letter was written by my uncles. The letter made my mother sick, so what does it have to do with the Duke’s wife? Here, if the Duke’s wife had not intervened, my mother would have been sick long before the birthday banquet..."

Wu Qiong, together with Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun, is now learning palace rules and etiquette from Ma Shangyi. When he has nothing to do, the latter will also tell these three little girls whose parents are not around some principles of life. Therefore, even though Wu Qiong has been deeply influenced by her mother since she was a child, and her temper has been a little distorted, she has gradually corrected herself. She knows the importance of things and can distinguish the right and wrong of things. Her mother's influence on her was getting weaker and weaker.

She is now sad about her mother's illness, but she does not resent the Duke's wife and Ma Shangyi, nor does she regret her choice to inform. She only hated her uncles for being ruthless and ruthless, using her mother as a tool to seek fame, wealth and power, but not caring about her mother's life or death.

There were some things that she couldn't say in the letter, but in front of Haitang, she couldn't help but confide in her heart: "I heard from the Duke's wife that the fourth cousin and the fourth cousin went home to visit their uncles. I told them about my mother's whereabouts and hoped that they would write to my mother to talk about their separation. But the uncles were very cold and had completely forgotten about my mother's sibling. If Sun Yongbai hadn't been arrested and exposed them, they would never have been able to do so. I asked my fourth cousin to visit me and ask him to bring a message to my mother. What would I do with such an uncle? It would be better to cut off the contact earlier! If it weren’t for them, how could my mother and I be in such embarrassment today? situation?

"They are all in-laws of the Wu family. Something happened to the Wu family. When they returned home, they turned against each other and betrayed their friends for glory. However, the Zhou family took great risks to save my cousin and I. The Queen Mother also saved the life of Her Seventh Highness. Life. Now that the Seventh Prince and our family are about to have a hard time, I want to express gratitude for the kindness and think about the Zhou family first. What does returning home have to do with it? My mother said she wanted to revive the Wu family, but what she was thinking about was. After returning home, where did she leave our Wu family? My cousin and I are no longer children, so we can’t let her do this!”

The benefits that should come to the Wu family should fall on the Wu family. Going home and wanting to pick peaches is just a daydream! If Mrs. Gui wants to sacrifice the Wu family for the benefit of the Gui family, Wu Ke and Wu Qiong, as a member of the Wu family, will never be at her mercy. No matter how she speaks as an elder, reviving the Wu family is the most important thing in the future for their brothers and sisters. No matter who it is, no one can stand in their way!
